Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Mobile are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Mobile in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Photographs in Mobile, AL

I was walking along the Mobile Riverwalk at about 8:15 PM last Thursday when I realized my photographs weren't in my bag. They include a mix of black-and-white prints and a few color snapshots from a family vacation. I’d spent the evening shooting around Bienville Square and must have dropped them somewhere nearby; losing them feels like losing a link to my family's past. I’m hoping someone picked them up and will return them through the site.

Lost sports equipment in downtown Mobile

I lost my equipment for various sports on Friday evening, around 6:45 p.m., outside the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center near Bienville Square in downtown Mobile. My bag is a black medium-sized duffel with worn logos from different leagues, and inside there were muddy soccer cleats, a used basketball knee sleeve, and a tennis racket with a chipped grip. I retraced steps along the waterfront and past the amphitheater, but the bag never turned up. I rely on that gear for weekend pickup games, and losing it feels like I’m losing a piece of my routine and a bit of myself.

Lost travel visas near Mobile Civic Center

On Tuesday at 3:20 p.m., I left the Gulf Coast Exploreum and headed toward Bienville Square along Dauphin Street. My travel visas were tucked into a brown sleeve inside a blue folder inside a leather briefcase. A gust of wind knocked the folder from my hand, and I watched it disappear into the crowd near the Mobile Civic Center. I’m frantic about missing my trip, so I’m holding out hope someone found them and kept them safe. The documents are urgent for a business trip and I’d be grateful to have them returned.

lost drums near Saenger Theatre, Mobile

I am loading my drums after a small show behind the Saenger Theatre on Dauphin Street in Mobile, Alabama, and by 2:40 PM this afternoon they were gone from the loading dock. I walked the back alley and then down to Dauphin, asking whoever was around, but the place was already clearing out. It is a beige kit with a bright red throne, and it’s the gear our little band depends on for gigs. I am hoping someone saw something and kept them safe until we can reclaim them.

Lost Tank Accessories in Mobile, AL

Tuesday around 2:50 p.m., I was in Mobile, outside the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center on Government Street, chatting with a friend after a quick exhibit visit. I set my Tank Accessories down in a small black case with red trim while I adjusted a jacket, and when I looked back a moment later, they were gone. They’re tiny metal pieces from a WWII tank-model kit, but they mean a lot to me because they belonged to my late grandfather. I’ve walked the block a few times and patted the nearby benches at Bienville Square, hoping they turned up, but so far nothing. I’m hopeful they’ll reappear.

Lost Chargers near Saenger Theatre

On Friday afternoon around 3:45 p.m., I realized my phone wouldn't charge and I couldn't find my chargers anywhere. I had parked near the Saenger Theatre on Joachim Street after grabbing coffee on Dauphin Street, and I retraced my steps through the crowds, hoping they'd turn up. I searched the plaza and nearby cafes, even checked around the Mobile Civic Center, but the chargers were gone. They are a black braided cable with a gray power bank, essential for work, and I’m anxious about not having them. If you found them, please know they belong to someone trying to stay connected in Mobile.
